Global Era of Star Trekking

Chapter 1788: Chapter 872: Innate Ren Shui Peach Tree (Part 2)

Currently, his Guidance Technique still remains at Level 95. If the auxiliary cultivation effect of the Purple-striped Peach is truly powerful, in the coming period, he will go into full seclusion to cultivate, striving to elevate the Guidance Technique to Level 99 as soon as possible.

As long as he can achieve this step, in the future, whenever he chooses to make the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong strive towards becoming a Mythical Immortal Ship, he can do so without any worries, going full throttle to carry it out.

...

Inside the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, Song Chi quietly lies in the Wizard Magic Power Assistance Cultivation Cabin. Soon after, the Purple-striped Peach he just consumed begins to take effect.

The peach flesh, melting in his mouth, quickly makes his divine soul feel comfortable, and the abundant Ninth-Tier Spectral Energy in his body seems a bit more lively.

Next, torrents of heat flow surged from his lower abdomen, and an indescribable immense energy exploded violently within him.

This energy wasn’t violent or uncontrollable, but rather extraordinarily gentle and rich, containing a unique Ren Shui Essence and Life Origin, nurturing his limbs, bones, meridians, acupoints, and even the depths of his soul, like a mother’s embrace.

Song Chi dared not neglect, and immediately activated his already Level 95 Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.

As soon as the Guidance Technique was activated, he noticed a completely different experience from the past.

Compared to previous cultivation, especially upon reaching the Ninth Rank, each level required slow and meticulous effort, absorbing void energy bit by bit, transforming, purifying, and compressing it, with progress slow and tedious, and breakthroughs nearly impossible without millennia or even several millennia.

But at this moment, supported by the vast and gentle medicinal power of the Purple-striped Peach, the operation speed of the Guidance Technique was unbelievably fast.

The energy from the surrounding void was drawn in frantically, and through the mediation and purification by the Peach’s medicinal power, it required little refinement before transforming into the purest and most abundant spectral energy, merging into his body.

Curiously, the Ren Shui Essence and Life Origin seemed to possess sentience, proactively smoothing out any minor fluctuations that might arise from the rapid energy influx, making the entire cultivation process incredibly smooth and seamless, without the slightest sense of obstruction.

His divine soul seemed to be soaking in a warm spiritual spring, and subtle bottlenecks and barriers that were previously imperceptible during cultivation showed signs of loosening under the nourishment and wash of this power.

His consciousness reached a level of unprecedented clarity, with a mastery over energy, rules, and his own state that reached an unparalleled height.

It’s unclear how much time passed, but Song Chi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze bright and sparkling as if material.

Feeling the obviously enlarged spectral energy within him, along with the lingering intoxicated comfort, a deep joy spread across his face.

"Just one... and it has significantly advanced the progress of my Guidance Technique. At this rate, just one more would directly push the Guidance Technique past Level 96. If all thirty-five Purple-striped Peaches were refined, perhaps..."

He roughly estimated that a single mature Purple-striped Peach saved him the effort of millennia of painstaking cultivation.

It wasn’t merely a simple accumulation of energy but an all-around nourishment and enhancement, leading to a qualitative leap in cultivation efficiency.

"As expected of the Innate Ren Shui Peach, with such a divine item to assist, it’s only a matter of time before the Guidance Technique reaches Level 99!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Song Chi’s gaze swept over the remaining thirty-five Purple-striped Peaches in front of him, but he didn’t immediately continue consuming them.

Such a divine item, with its vast medicinal power, needed time for slow absorption and digestion; consuming them continuously might waste part of the medicinal effect.

He collected himself and refocused his spiritual mind on the Mirror Image Warship’s exploration on the Immortal Realm Continent.

The Six Ding Divine Fire still had no leads, but the discovery of this Innate Ren Shui Peach Tree greatly boosted his confidence and desire for exploration.

Undoubtedly, beneath this vast ruin of the Immortal Realm Continent, more surprises are waiting to be discovered.

The Mirror Image Warship continued to shuttle through the dead gray fog world, examining every suspicious region more meticulously.

Time slowly passed during the exploration and the intermittent secluded cultivation of refining peaches.

With each Purple-striped Peach refined, Song Chi’s Guidance Technique steadily advanced further, enhancing his grasp of energy and his comprehension of the laws, even providing a sense of directly pointing to the Dao Rules.

Level 96... Level 97... Level 98...

When the medicinal power of the twelfth Purple-striped Peach was entirely absorbed, Song Chi’s Guidance Technique finally made a major breakthrough to Level 99.

At this moment, the spectral energy within him was vast and pure to the extreme.

His Spiritual Force similarly multiplied several times, with a sensory range and sharpness far surpassing before.

He felt as though he truly stood at the threshold of the Mythical Rank, with a clear path ahead, waiting for the final decisive step.

"Finally... it’s perfect."

Feeling the immense power burgeoning within him, Song Chi exhaled a long breath, his eyes glinting with confident radiance.

Reaching Level 99 in the Guidance Technique meant he had prepared every aspect of his life hierarchy to break through to the myth. What remained was paving the way for the flagship, the Heavenly Ruins Cang Qiong, to advance in rank.

However, this seemingly simple task was already over two hundred years since the transplantation of the Innate Ren Shui Peach Tree.

In one of those days, while Song Chi was focused on stabilizing the freshly advanced Level 99 in his Guidance Technique, new and unusual feedback finally came from the persistent exploration of the Mirror Image Warship on the side of the Immortal Realm Continent.

It was a massive abyss located in the extreme north region of the continent. Although the scanning beams found no anomalies at the bottom of the abyss, the Territory Star Map replicating the Heavenly Destiny Compass stirred with ripples.

Currently, the "Si Nan·Chasing Origin" feature of the replicated Heavenly Destiny Compass was always bound to the Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace·Broken component. Since there was movement on the Territory Star Map at this moment, it undoubtedly was related to the Creation and Transformation Eight Trigrams Furnace·Broken component itself.

It was this discovery that immediately drew Song Chi’s mind, prompting the Mirror Image Warship to decisively change direction and speed towards the far northern abyss.

Simultaneously, a long-anticipated name surfaced in his mind.

Six Ding Divine Fire!

’Am I finally about to find it?!’

...

This far northern abyss was similarly filled with dense gray mist energy, but Song Chi no longer cared. Over the past two centuries, to maximize exploration efficiency, he’d generally avoided these gray mist energy zones to avoid direct clashes with those Mythical Gray Fog Energy Entities, but this time was different.

The Mirror Image Warship’s engines ran at full capacity, ignoring the pervasive gray mist energy along the way, and darted straight towards the far northern abyss like a stream of light tearing through perpetual darkness.

The closer they got, the more intense the ripples became on the Territory Star Map of the replicated Heavenly Destiny Compass, and the pointer shook violently, directing straight to the deepest part of the abyss, conveying an unprecedented longing and resonance.

Song Chi’s spiritual mind was highly concentrated, cautiously maneuvering the warship to dive downwards into the abyss.

The abyss seemed to be endless; the deeper they went, the dimmer it became until everything was enveloped in a darkness that swallowed all.

Even with the warship’s Five-Colored Sky Patrol Radar, the detection range was severely compressed, barely able to sense the jagged twisted rock walls around and the suffocating stillness and dirtiness in the air.

The concentration of gray mist energy here was terrifyingly high, even faintly forming some sort of sticky, corrosive liquid energy drips, incessantly corroding the Mirror Image Warship’s Energy Shield and Origin Star Halo Shield, emitting a "sizzle" sound.

After descending to an unknown depth, suddenly, in the endless dark ahead, a faint glow appeared abruptly.

That light was extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, always on the verge of extinguishing. Yet its color was uniquely warm white, standing in stark contrast with the surrounding deathly dark and filthy gray fog.

The pointer of the replicated Heavenly Destiny Compass also ceased its tremors at this moment, firmly locking onto that point of light!

"I’ve found it!"

Song Chi’s spirit soared, commanding the warship to accelerate and approach.

As the distance closed, the point of light gradually became clearer.

This wasn’t a radiance emitted by some treasure, but a small... flame.

The flame was only the size of a human head, seemingly highly unstable in form, sometimes expanding, sometimes contracting, flickering unpredictably. Yet it floated quietly in the center of the vast, scorched, and shattered plaza at the bottom of the abyss.

With this flame as the center, a peculiar "vacuum" area of a hundred meters in diameter formed around the broken plaza, where the dense, sticky gray fog energy seemed to encounter a natural nemesis, not daring to approach, only rolling and howling on the periphery, forming a circle of gray-black fog barrier.

Seeing this, Song Chi’s eyes narrowed.

With just one glance, he captured the terrifying aura hidden beneath that dense gray fog layer ahead, an overwhelming pressure that only familiar Mythical Gray Fog Energy Entities could exude.
